Blue & White Napa

Hello friends! So I just got back from Napaaa. Yep, it was awesome. The last time I was there, I was 7 months pregnant. I ate so much food to compensate for the lack of wine that I gained 7 pounds in 4 days! (It was worth it obviously). It really is a foodie's paradise and beautiful to boot.

I'll spare you a detailed rundown of everything we did, but here are a few highlights (mostly of the blue and white variety).

Outdoor seating for their restaurant The Farmer & The Fox - love the whimsy

The restaurant is only open for dinner, but we had a lovely sandwich
from their bakery and sandwich shop, adorably-named Butterscots. I'd
love to go back when the grounds are finished. There was still
quite a bit of construction, but the design is so fun and interesting
that I'd love to see what else they have in store.

Y'all, I feel rejuvenated and lucky. It was a really fabulous weekend. Kip gets to spend some time out there for work once or twice a year (I know, tough gig) so I know I will be back. I can't wait!

I love St. Helena, it's also my favorite town in wine country. Next time your there just down a couple of doors from Jan de Luz is Napa Valley Vintage Home. Beautiful, especailly at Christmas time. I am so glad to learn of Thomas Bartlett, and Butterscots! Sounds like a lovely trip! All the best, Rié
